Since its creation in 1970, Amtrak has sought to relieve railroad
companies of costly passenger operations while continuing US rail
service. However, Amtrak has come under fire for its own inability
to turn a profit, though passenger rail service is historically
unprofitable. Congress has mandated that Amtrak show an ability to
cover its own expenses, which the company has said it will do. As
train travel becomes more important to the nation in the wake of
the 11 September terrorist attacks, Amtrak's problems and viability
are definite matters of national security. This book analyses the
various issues surrounding Amtrak's past and future and includes a
comprehensive bibliography.
